11. Rheumatoid Arthritis: Body Composition, Bone Loss, and Mortality
Sammanfattning : Early rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients (disease duration ≤1 year, n=165) were recruited 1995-2001 and followed systematically clinically and with dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) over 2 years and compared to age- and gender-matched controls. Baseline arm and leg lean mass were decreased in RA patients in both genders and body mass index and truncal fat distribution were increased in female RA patients. LÄS MER
12. Roles of hematopoietin and cytokine tyrosine kinase receptors in early lymphopoiesis
Sammanfattning : Cytokines have been shown to have important roles in lymphopoiesis. However, many questions remain unresolved. Among other, while the action of interleukin (IL)-7 in alpha beta T cell development in mouse seems to be largely mediated through permissive survival signaling, the possible permissive role of IL-7 in early B cell development is disputed.

13. Transcriptional networks in neuroblastoma and breast cancer
Sammanfattning : Transcription factors of the basic Helix-loop-helix (bHLH) family of proteins are important regulators of cellular processes such as proliferation and differentiation. Many cancer diseases show a block in differentiation, and aberrant regulation of several bHLH factors have been implicated in the development of different malignancies. LÄS MER
14. Prognostic and predictive biomarkers in metastatic colorectal cancer constant and evolutionary perspectives
Sammanfattning : Colorectal cancer (CRC) affects nearly 2 million people each year and accounts for 900 000 deaths worldwide. The main prognostic factor is disease stage at diagnosis and around 40% of the patients presents with or develop metastatic CRC (mCRC). LÄS MER
15. Improving trace metal characterisation of ore deposits through multi-modal, multi-scale, and multi-dimensional micro-analysis
Sammanfattning : The variety and amount of metals consumed by human society is ever increasing. Meeting the demand requires exploration for new ore deposits, efficient production of active mines, and improved efficiency in metal recycling. A key element in mining-related enterprises is the improvement of ore characterisation. LÄS MER
